Trump considering firing White House Cabinet Secretary Meghan Bauer amid post-midterm reshuffle: Report

Detailed summary

White House Cabinet secretary Meghan Bauer reportedly faces departure as Trump plans to reshuffle his administration following midterms defeat.

Another senior woman in Donald Trump’s administration is expected to leave her White House position as the US President moves ahead with a major staffing shake-up following his party’s disappointing performance in the midterm elections.

Meghan Bauer, who serves as the White House Cabinet secretary, is reportedly preparing to step down from her influential post, according to a MS NOW report. Her expected departure would follow that of Susie Wiles, marking another significant change among Trump's senior aides.

Bauer holds an important position within the administration, acting as a key link between the POTUS and members of his Cabinet.

Bauer’s anticipated exit comes amid reports that Trump has become increasingly dissatisfied with her performance in recent months, as per The UK Independent.

The development follows the president’s comments over the weekend, when he said that changes were on the way after the midterm election setback.

Trump said he would be making “a few changes”, fuelling speculation about possible departures and appointments across his administration.

A White House official described Bauer as a “valuable part of the team” and told The UK Independent that she would “continue to work in a new role”. However, the official did not provide further details about her future responsibilities or explain why she was expected to leave the Cabinet secretary position.

Bauer was appointed to the role in January 2025 by Wiles, who served as Trump's chief of staff.
